Actually the whole bike is one big original "feast".
(Including the ugly crash bars/irons with its bolts drilled into the floor, for some reason every Dutch Vespa had to have these in the seventies )

So the cylinder is the original 3 port 150cc.

The tuning part is merely like re-adjusting the clutch/gear cables, checking the ignition and its contacts, maybe a carb checkup as the gastank was empty and she does seems to leak a bit. Also a bit bad on running idle.
No big worries on this on, that is why I searched and was wlling to pay the price for it

I did had Rover Eric's Viet warning in the back of my mind:

2) It's a Sprint / Super / VBB. You've gotta be careful with these models - they are the ones that were imported on a grand scale to Southeast asia, so they are the models that are most commonly viet death traps painted up all pretty and sold to us yanks.

For backlight, you should keep the original one, so she will stay original.

Does her paint is still original? if still original, maybe you should keep it that way.

Hey Januar, "restauration" is a big word for such a mint condition Veloce. It is more a rebuilding, like a finishing touch on minor things.

The original backlight will stay...but for now in a cardboard box. I know it is a big pro to have the scoot as original as possible, but I just dislike the the backlight too much
As the screw holes are an exact match with the Super version, there is an easy (temporarily) swap.

The color is original and will stay for sure, I had the color pigment scanned so new paint can be made. This will be used for the minor scratches you can expect on a 30 year old
And for the rest...I think she will be as naked as possible...no crashbars - no luggage rack - no spare wheel....just a scoot!

Yupe my mistake then, the condition is very mint

Maybe the previous owner must be seldom riding her, just store in the garage.

May I know how much do you pay for her? cause in my country price of sprint v in mint condition is very high.

Let me say "expensive", about the price of a new LX50

I don't know about Indonesia, but scooters have been rare in the Netherlands. So there are not so many motorscooters around, not to mention a vintage Vespa with original Dutch license plate!

As I didn't want to do a full restauration AND I wanted a good riding scoot, this Veloce was a good deal for me, despite the costs.
(For the price of a fully restored GS150 like on the pics above, you can easily buy a small new car)

So I assume everywhere is the same for a vintage vespa, the price is high, same here in Indonesia

In Indonesia, scooter is popular, everyone in their garage must be have a scooter, but I'm talking modern scooter, not a vintage one. Although the population of vintage vespa still big, not so many riding it everyday, just in the weekends.

This weekend I did the last rebuilding on my 150 Sprint Veloce.
Some spots on the frame original paintwork have been fixes /repainted. An excelent job by the paintstore that remade the blue color...exact match!

Also Rims have been recoated, got new Michelin tyres too. So with some minor fixes she's almost 100% again.
